Got the Platinum! My second Platinum ever. By far the hardest parts of the game were the Defiled Chalice Dungeon and Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice Dungeon. Goddamn that was brutal.



Good game. But I still like Dark 1 better.

Dark 2

So you have to beat some Chalice Dungeons to get trophies huh? Oy vey.

Ok so I finally made it through this hellish village and got a building with what looks like the Blair Witch Project basement and bodies everywhere. What am I about to encounter and should I dump all of my BEs real quick and come back?

Ehh that boss isn't really that tough in ng

 

[Orthogonal]

Just like destiny man. Cheese that shit.

Run to basement, go into cell, shut door to cell, hit them through the bars

Lol, some of us have standards.

 

[DedValve]

your stats are perfect for ludwigs b/c it scales off str/skill.

Thanks, just bought this. Does it also scale with arcane?

 

[Hugstable]

This game is just bizarre. I was having an easy time not long ago, now I'm getting absolutely wrecked at Cainhurst Castle. These spider things hit like a truck, and bounce around giving you barely any breathing space. Is this area supposed to be this hard? I just killed the main boss(es) at Forbidden Woods.

You are definitely there a bit too early. I wouldn't do that area til level 60 or 70 honestly. You should check out the next area after the Woods.

 

[Randam]

CaneWhip uses arcane? Didnt know that.

Would upping arcane make a notable difference?

Every weapon scales with arcane

That is just for when you put a gem on your weapon that gives it some elemental damage.



And: spiders, why does it have to be spiders?? :O

So has anyone found a use for (chalice dungeon item)

Lol. From makes the case that less is more. You can get lost from time to time, but it directs you fairly well.

Just started so only beginning to wrap my head around it all but right away it has that smooth Dark Souls feel and not the clunky DeS and DS2 feel. I don't think the jump is quite DS1 great but thankfully it seems much better than the stupid DS2 abomination. So far the lack of shield has made me more conservative since I can't risk a bad situation I back way way off to avoid the danger. I noticed they put a message at the start about being nice to fellow players. Anyway it's been lots of fun so far and I can't wait to see what's next.

He probably means outside of the castle, they killed me like 5 times before I just said fuck it and ran in. Not sure if I missed anything outside, I know there was a path that went down, but never could kill one of them much less all of them, lol.

You need to find the path down into the main swamp pool that lets you come up behind a rock thrower, then there's a path you can drop down to, go into a cave with like 5 poison guys, then keep following that path and you eventually will run past another rock thrower into another poison pool area. The shortcut is to the right of the bridge, don't forget to get it first, makes the boss run extremely easy.

Nope, definitely the castle. There's these bloody long legged spider things everywhere, and they hop around. Unless it's because of my Insight level?

These things here.

It works different, you have to ring those bell things now. Like 2 areas still have regular invasions though

You can only be invaded when a Sinister Bell Maiden is present in your world. Outside of Summoning for Coop and a few areas in the game, if you play solo, you will not be invaded.

I got invaded there once, killed him narrowly, then killed the bell-ringer.

She doesn't respawn. No more invasions for me, I guess.

The door in the Cathedral that was locked before is now open. You can either buy the 10k key to unlock the gate going to the Grand Cathedral or go through that door and take the back way to unlock that gate.

"only a special emblem can open that door"


hmmmm am i at the wrong door?!

 

[Orthogonal]

I'm still on my first run lol. I'm scared to go downstairs.

You still in Channel Lane? Or did you get captured. That place is intimidating.

 

[Laurentius]

Lol. From makes the case that less is more. You can get lost from time to time, but it directs you fairly well.

Yeah, the benefit is that the level design and world is showing you where to go, and not constant quest arrows. It makes you actually pay attention to your surroundings, which in turn increases immersion by a lot. (Naturally this method is dependent on good level design. Which is probably why so many games rely on quest markers and big maps these days.)

 

[Hugstable]

I'm still on my first run lol. I'm scared to go downstairs.

BELIEVE!


You'll do fine haha. If you opened the shortcut just go save the blood echoes really quick then just run back in there so you avoid the axe assholes. The boss there isn't too bad compared to everything you've already faced though.

 

[Cess007]

Btw, i'm curious. Anyone else has saved the whore?

Spoiler

what would happen if i accept her offer to take her blood?

 

[PoweredByHentai]

Jesus I'm getting so fucked by

Vicar Amelia

. This thing is merciless oh my god.

This is definitely harder than demon's or dark souls ever felt, to me.

She isn't that hard. She's one of those bosses where you need good judgment of when to approach her and when to avoid her, but you don't want to be too far away from her when you do avoid her.

Didn't know non root chalice dungeons had variable designs like that. Good to know.

Yup.

Okay. XD Which one is better?

Depends on the situation. If I'm dealing with multiple enemies, I go flamethrower. If I'm dealing with just one annoying a-hole, I go with the gun.

 

[Wynnebeck]

You get a nice little potion that you can use. However, if you've saved the nun too, take her blood first.

I forgot to ask about this a few days ago, but there was a house in walked in either charnel lane or he woods where there was a female hunter upstairs. I went up because it sounded like she wanted to bang me. I ended up killing her. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

Just don't drink it if you want to save the nun too. I've heard the nun kills her if you do.

You buy that emblem at the shop at the hub place for 10k blood echos. Or the little door inside the Cathedral (close to the lamp) on the right should be open now.

Ha, I still died behind that door. I am an idiot. Come save me Grip.

Nice, all 3 down finally. That was tough for me.

Yes, that! Thanks. Was looking all over the damn swamp below for an entrance or something. Those rock dudes were too distracting, I couldn't find the shortcut lol.

Her blood heals you by a huge amount and apparently improves your stamina regen, not that I ever noticed because of my 50 endurance. =/

The only point of concern is dealing with Adella if you are trying to save Arianna.
